The bar having already been set for what Steele’s Meighan Simmons could do in an all-star setting, Saturday’s showing seemed vanilla by comparison.

Her shot was at times unforgiving, the Most Valuable Player award eluded her, and she was outpaced in the scoring department.

Only Simmons could make 21 points and nine rebounds look so ho-hum.

Three days after taking home MVP honors in the McDonald’s All-American game with a game-high 21 points, Simmons had another standout performance to lead the Red past the White 101-81 in the WBCA High School All-America Game at the Alamodome.

“In the beginning, I was on,” said the Tennessee-bound Simmons, who had a team-high in points. “Later on, I kind of had a little brain fart, but overall, I think I did pretty good.”

The 6-foot-3 Ogwumike, who will join older sister Nnemkadi at Stanford next fall, scored 17 of the White’s final 23 points.

“It was an unbelievable honor to be on the Final Four court before the Final Four, and to be in the midst of great players,” said Ogwumike, considered the nation’s top prospect.

After a slow start, Ogwumike got hot late, scoring 13 straight points for her team to help the White claw within 10 points with 6:58 left.

Meanwhile, Simmons started out on fire — 15 of her 21 points came before halftime — before cooling off by going 2 for 8 from the floor in the second half. She finished 8 for 23, including 1 for 6 from 3-point range while alternating between point guard and shooting guard responsibilities.

Still, Simmons — ranked the nation’s 24th-best prospect — dazzled fans with her speed and creativity on the floor.

On one fast-break attempt in the second half, she confused a defender by faking a pass underneath the basket prior to laying it in herself.

While Ogwumike only solidified her No. 1 ranking, the question could be asked: Has Simmons outperformed hers?

Simmons, the city’s career scoring leader and reigning two-time Express-News Player of the Year, said that doesn’t concern her.

“It makes me happy to be compared with them, but we’re all friends out here,” Simmons said. “I wasn’t out here trying to be too competitive with them.”
